redgarnett Store ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This beautiful and rare LP from L'Oiseau-Lyre (OL - LD 156, French pressing, green label, mono) features conductor Louis de Froment conducting a small chamber ensemble, comprised of the leading lights in French music at that time, in an all-Couperin program, recorded in Paris in the early 1950s.
The exact contents are as follows:
Quatrième Concert Royal
Le Parnasse ou L'Apothéose de Corelli
Concert Instrumental sous le titre d'apothéose (composé a la mémoire immortelle de l'incomparable Monsieur Lully)

The notes on the reverse side of the jacket are by Couperin himself – all texts in French only. The striking cover design is uncredited.
CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is VERY GOOD. There is minor corner wear, as well as scuffing and ringwear to the rear panel, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners’ markings, or other defects, and whole remains solid, bright, and attractive – a very good collector’s copy.
The condition of the LP itself is EXCELLENT. Although the surfaces are not perfectly silent, really this is a fine copy and playback is superb, close to NM. If you must have a flawless or NM copy, then please do not buy this LP. Overall, rates as an excellent collector's copy.
